    Thunderstorms, gusty wind, and even chances of hail are the main threats for the incoming severe weather pushing into Michigan Wednesday. The rain will last until Thursday morning, and bring a cold front along with it. Big picture view: While mid-Michigan received most of the rainfall Wednesday morning and afternoon, it's Southeast Michigan that will get hit with a fresh round of severe weather later in the evening.

    It’s a warm one across metro Detroit today — highs climbing to around 87 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Not much humidity to sweat through just yet, but the sky’s got that hazy look again thanks to lingering wildfire smoke drifting in from Canada. It’s enough to filter the sunshine and give everything a soft, milky glow through the afternoon. Tonight, things stay mild.

    No complaints with today’s setup — plenty of sunshine, highs near 80, and just a light breeze to go with it. Skies will stay mostly clear, but you might notice a hazy tint overhead at times. That’s wildfire smoke again, drifting in from Canada. It won’t be overwhelming, but it could be noticeable, especially in the afternoon. Sensitive groups should keep an eye on the air quality reports through the day. Tonight stays quiet and comfortable. Lows dip to about 58 under partly cloudy skies.

    Clouds are on the move across Metro Detroit today, gradually filling in as we go. It’s still mild, though — highs near 72 with an east breeze tapping in at 10 to 20 mph, just enough to flutter the flags and rustle the leaves. Tonight, cooler air slides in under the cloud blanket, and after midnight we’ll start picking up some scattered showers. Lows dip to around 55, and it’s the opening act for a damp midweek stretch. Wednesday’s all about the clouds and the drizzle.

    It's been a busy year for severe weather in Michigan and tornadoes have been a frequent sighting during the storms. It's still a ways away from the record, but the state has already confirmed five times more than what normally happens. Big picture view: On May 15, late-night severe weather moving across Michigan spawned three tornadoes, depositing them across rural portions of the state. It's part of a trend in 2025, which has showcased one of the most active weather seasons in recent memory.

The rain brought the smoke particles from the upper levels of the atmosphere down to the surface... our Air Quality has gotten worse. If you are sensitive to Air Quality issues, the next 36 hours will be tougher for you - take breaks indoors in filtered air environments. https://t.co/yl7UluTC3z
